There there are many. Simple microscope, compound microscope, light microscope, scanning electron microscope, TEMicroscope, Dissection microscope, etc and most of them are used to see small cells that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

∙ 9y agoLight compound microscope - Used for both living and sectioned and stained slides. It is limited by the resolution.
Scanning electron microscope - Uses a beam of electrons to scan an object magnifying the image many times more than a light microscope. It requires some specialized equipment to prepare the specimens for observation but has the advantage of observing large specimens. It can't be used to observe living things.
Transmission electron microscope - Uses a beam of electrons to form an image of a specimen thousands of time higher magnification than either the light compound microscope and scanning electron microscope. It has to have very thin, killed, fixed and stained specimens.

What is best viewed under a microscope paramecium earthworm or grasshopper?
those are for two different kinds of microscopes. Electron microscopes would be for looking at the paramecium and dissecting microscopes would be necessary for the earthworm and grasshopper.
How do they various kinds of microscopes differ as tools in the study of cells?
electron microscopes can do up to x2 000 000 and must be a very small peice of sample. But it does not show the thing moving just takes an image
What microscope uses visible light?
The light microscope uses visible light. Light microscopes are what are usually used in science classrooms.
How do microscopes differ from electron microscopes?
The microscopes one would think of in a college or high school biology lab are optical microscopes (ie: compound and stereo microscopes) and use light and glass optics in the eyepieces and objective lenses to obtain higher levels of magnification than the human eye can achieve. An electron microscope uses a beam of, you guessed it, electrons to illuminate and produce a magnified image. Electron microscopes are used when the specimens are too small for optical microscopes as they have wavelengths around 100,000 times shorter than visible light and can achieve magnification levels of up to 10,000,000x.
What is an advantage of light microscopes compared to electron microscopes is that light microscopes?
Light microscopes allow you to view living specimens and electron microscopes do not allow this.
What are three uses for microscopes?
Three uses for microscopes are forensics, reasearch, and analysis.
Is there many kinds of microscopes?
yes!
What do modern microscopes bend?
Modern microscopes that uses lenses to bend LIGHT
What are the two kinds of microscopes?
Light microscope Electron microscope
What microscope uses angstrom unit?
Electron microscopes.
What are functions of microscopes?
Microscopes are instruments that uses lens to produce magnified images of objects too small to be seen by the eye.
Convex lens uses?
The uses of convex lenses are It is used in microscopes It is also present in our eyes.
What is best viewed under a microscope paramecium earthworm or grasshopper?
those are for two different kinds of microscopes. Electron microscopes would be for looking at the paramecium and dissecting microscopes would be necessary for the earthworm and grasshopper.
Light microscopes can magnify objects?
Yes, there are all kinds of microscopes. Everyone can magnify objects some just magnify more than others.
What do microscopes use to make things look bigger?
light microscopes uses light and lenses to magnify things look bigger .
The type of microscope that uses a series of magnifying lenses?
light microscopes
Who uses microscopes in their jobs and why?
scientist because they have to look close at germs.
